citrinesunsetI was super excited for this episode, and it didn't disappoint! But now I can't wait until the three-week break is up.
- Naked Neal is always a great way to start an episode. And lots of anklet porn!
- His giggle when he teases Rebecca about the anklet is really cute.
- Wow, Mozzie has finally learned to knock when Neal has a romantic guest!
- LOL at Mozzie's offense at the idea of being believable as a fed.
- I'm amused by how that gold coin managed to get passed around so much.
- Mozzie and Elizabeth have lunches! They have a table! That's unbelievably cute.
- I love how Neal resorts to using homing pigeons to reach Moz.
- Seems kind of risky (or ballsy) for Neal to out himself to the crooked prosecutor like this.
- Peter is too suspicious for his own good at the flower shop. If he'd trusted Neal, he probably would have gotten Dekker!
- Rebecca is increasingly suspicious. She's very intent on knowing Neal's plans. And the brilliant thing is, her curiosity could be innocent. But I don't think it is. She seems to be guilting him into letting her in on the plan, too, but suggesting that he's gotten all he wants from her. She knows his weaknesses.
- Even though I don't trust her, Rebecca joining along for the heist is kind of cute.
- I love the whole window heist.
- Of course Mozzie knows masonic handshakes.
- I love Neal's save with the cronut. Especially after Matt talked about loving cronuts in an interview recently. I found that amusing.
- Very sneaky of Peter to arrange that phone call with Jones. I'm a little bit surprised that Neal fell for it. Or rather, I'm not surprised he believed it, but I'm a little surprised that it moved him to confess.
- The confession scene is very emotionally charged. It's clear that Peter is really affected by what's happened.
- I like Elizabeth in the scene where she and Peter talk. I like that she feels partly responsible for what Neal did, and that she's willing to accept the outcome of it. At times, she can be a good voice of moderation that falls in between the extremes of Neal and Peter. She doesn't condone crime, but she's not as rigid in her belief in the system as Peter is, so she's willing to accept a good outcome as long as no innocent people are hurt.
- I can sympathize with Peter, though. He believes in justice and doing things right. Sometimes following the law means that guilty people aren't caught easily, but it can also mean that innocent people also have to go through the system. From Peter's perspective, accepting his good fortune to not be indicted isn't much better than Neal wanting to go after Fowler on his own in season two. And he feels like a hypocrite in the ASAC position. Learning that he was let off on false evidence is a big blow, and I don't think he feels like Neal gave him a favor. It was sad to have him call Neal a criminal again, but the alternative would be for Peter to consider that Neal's actions could have been partly justified, which is tough for him.
- I can't wait for the next episode! I'm convinced Rebecca is actually working with Hagen.
